Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

Massive voltage drop on those bolts
Always mesmerizing to look at, especially with the great view you have.

Haha I was actually outside filming that.

Agreed on the view but kinda scary with this type of storm as about 2 years ago, lightning struck the roof and fried half the appliances in the house. Surprisingly my pc was untouched.

Right now, I'm sitting with no power. Lol.

Always respect the storm, I once saw where a farm worker was struck inside his quarters, bolt went down a tree, ran along the tin roof, went down the wall (those big building blocks - suspect water leaking through acted as a conducter) ripped a whole in the plaster and hit the worker in the back, died instantly in front of his friend who was sitting two metres in front of him, scary.

Quick question. For the current job market,do I really have to do the N+ Networking exam?

I'm only aiming for IT Technician jobs and Security, not Networking.

I only have a MCSE and A+ but I have never had to use it so not sure.

Any particular reason for not adding the versatility?

Failed the first when I was 25, failed again a few months back. I just simply suck at it.

And not confident enough to retake it again.
If it's not a direct requirement to finish the qualification then I guess it is fine. Personally I have always found failure to be a great character builder.
Good luck with your decision.

Yeah I don't think I will ever become a Networking technician, say basic knowledge will serve me best. I can do cables and stuff but the more advanced stuff goes over my head like 100baseT, don't even ask me what it is because you'll get a blank stare. Lol.

Encryption, security, and the like is my piece of cake, it's so easy.
 
Monday - power out in Heriotdale - 09h30 to 22h00
Tuesday - all geared up to catch up yesterday's loss of production -07h30 , Darkness my new friend...leave work early , power on 16h00.
Wednesday- 08h00 power on , let's work...2 massive power surges , blew both my Wiro machines , wait for technician to reset and restart , 11h15 ,
and there goes the power , only to return 15h00. My boss is fuming , jobs needs to be delivered and the Eskom call center states '' We are unable to assist you due to labour action taking place''
True story...
 
Yeah @ARYANTO Wednesday two big faults, no power from 10pm Tuesday night to 6:30pm Wednesday.

Friday outage to replace cables, due to the Wednesday fault, from 8am til 7:30pm...

However, some good news after the power came on, I checked my emails.

I have earned my Mastery Certificates for completing the courses.

So, @BioHAZarD , is it still necessary to do the N+ exam?
Congratulations, excellent news for anyone studying. Hope you had a celebratory vape on those results!:beer-toast1:
 
I've had a few problems since getting an alarm system installed at home, mainly that the sensors are triggered for no apparent reason. However, the opposite occurred a few days it's ago. I walked into the lounge, then realised that I hadn't switched off the alarm - yet it didn't go off.

I called the alarm guy and he and his (adult) son tested it. The alarm went off as soon as either of them walked into the lounge, but with me it didn't. Apparently I'm too short for the sensor, so they had to reposition the sensor. Strange, but true.

I'm not short - I'm down to earth.jpg

i had once removed a starling nest from our gutter and as a result the bird lice came into the house moving over the alarm sensor triggering it every two minutes. drove me insane trying to figure out why the alarm kept going off.

Looking back on the forwarded message from the farm group, Nsele Security is our source of information. Turns out the old copper cables were stolen...
